It is sadly unsurprising that Calderdale Council’s cabinet has decided to spend our money on installing bus lane cameras. It is always strapped for cash, yet believes that this is a good use of resources.

Earlier this month seventy years of the NHS was celebrated at Westminster Abbey. The post-war Labour government urged everyone to sign up for a doctor by July 5, 1948 with Trafford General Hospital near Manchester being the first in the world to offer free healthcare to all.

I write in regard to the article ‘Affordable homes planned for valley’ and the tremendous amount of self-congratulation and reciprocal backslapping by Calderdale’s Labour Cabinet over their ‘Local Plan’.

I want to express my utter disdain for a number of pro-mass housing plan trade union and Momentum activists who I witnessed screaming and shouting to drown out reasonable, well behaved, genuine local residents protesting against it.
